Hi all, I am 28yr old with PTSD. My past PTSD symptoms included (depressive episodes, suicidal ideation, flashbacks -auditory/visual hallucination type, anxiety and specific phobia)
Current symptoms are mild anxiety.
Last year I took seroquel and put on about 15 lbs. I lost that dieting this summer. Now it's starting to go back on. I changed a couple of meds in August, so I think it might be related to Zoloft or abilify.
I've been trying to control poundage with diet and some exercise (key word is *trying!*) for some time now, but my appetite is high, especially for sweets and in the evening.
current meds
Zoloft 50mg (could I reduce that to 25mg? been about 4mos since last depression)
Lamictal 200mg (not sure what this one is doing for me, but maybe it's an appetite supressant?)
Abilify 10mg (I was on 5mg since september, but just went up 2 days ago)prn
Klonopin- I take about .5mg daily
Sonata- I take about 2,3x a week
Zyprexa (Zydis) 10mg - I have taken about 2-3 times a week for the past 3 weeksI would like a mood stabilizer and an antidepressant. I think that abilify is a good one. Since I increased my dose, I haven't had to use as much klonopin.
ideas? T says I'm probably over-medicated right now
thanks,
-Ll
